iPhone Ringtone

I know a lot of people are uber excited and can’t wait to get their hands on the Apple iPhone. Only a few people have had the privilege of having the iPhone in their hands even for just a few minutes.

For the majority who have seen it only from pictures and clips, I’m sure you’re curious and you’d want a glimpse of the iPhone and/or it’s features.

With it’s price tag, most of us …

2006 Foot-in-Mouth Awards

by Tony Long

Leading off with a stupid quote from President Bush might seem a little too easy, perhaps unfair, a bit like stealing candy from a blind kid or something. But in a year chockablock with moronic quips, obtuse observations and mind-boggling inanities, you still have to put Dubya front and center. He is, after all, the most powerful man in the world.

“One of the things I’ve learned on the Google is to pull up …

How I was Born

This is a joke that was posted in my webhost’s forum. I thought it was funny so I’m sharing it with you guys.

Junior asks his dad, “Daddy, how was I born?”

His dad sighs and replies, “Ah, my son, I guess one day you would have to find out anyway!

Well, you see your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on
“Yahoo”.

Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we …

PS3 - Coming To a Store Near You

Coming to a store near you.

This photo of a Sony PS3 kiosk was taken in a Tokyo retail store. This thing is huge! It certainly makes the X-box 360 kiosk small. Unfortunately, despite of the 4 hi-def Bravia displays, this PS3 kiosk only displays video and does not let you play any video game. Sucks huh? Hehe.

The Sony PS3 is scheduled for retail to the US market in …

Earlier today, I read an entry by Rob Hyndman that talks about Dvorak’s prediction and includes his own opinions as to why those predictions were wrong.

John C. Dvorak’s recent column in PC Magazine speculating that Apple …

10 Things That’ll Change The Way We Live

Fuel Cells
In fuel cells, the energy of a reaction between a fuel, such as liquid hydrogen, and an oxidant, such as liquid oxygen, is converted into electrical energy. Fuel cells will change the global economy, and not just because they will be as big a development in motoring as the internal-combustion engine was. They will also be used as cell-phone batteries and power generators, among other things. And they will eliminate the problem of what …

Will Apple Adopt Windows?

Read this one from PCMag.com. It talks about John C. Dvorak’s prediction that Apple will drop OS X and concentrate on becoming a hardware vendor and ship products running on Windows systems. Quite unbelievable, but he has raised some interesting points.
